Apt-get In Zubuntu

[whykickamoocow]

Ive been trying to install aircrack onto my zaurus 3200 which has zubuntu running on it, When i try the command "apt-get install aircrack-ng" it come up with this message ever time,

root@Zubuntu:~# apt-get install aircrack-ng

Ive tried all way to do this and had ago with other programs and it still comes up with the same. Whats the best way to install these programs in zubuntu or can sombody tell me were im going wrong.
One more thing, can sombody tell me how to check if i have a good internet connection with my zaurus.

Your zaurus is failing to connect to the website repository.handhelds.org and is unable to download the necessary programs. Try opening http://repository.handhelds.org on a web browser (on the zaurus) to see if you can connect to it. If you can, try installing again. If you cannot, the problem has nothing to do with program installation and rather is a problem with your internet connection.

For checking if you have a decent connection, I generally just use ping (eg, "ping www.google.com").

I've had issues with names not being resolved, and switching to OpenDNS helped. Trying a few times in close succession also seemed to have a benefit, but that probably won't work in this case, as APT is so very slow on the Z.

im starting to bang my head against a wall,i must be missing somthing out here, i tried to ping in and also had ago at opening the firefox browser and it looks like i dont have a connection as i thought i did.  ive tried all ways to connect i.e with or without a wep key on and still comes up with nothing. ive installed wifi radar and for some reason it seems to it seems to connct to the wrong ip address, ive even checked my interface file and nothing is jumping out on me. Can somebody have a look at my interface setup and let me know were i am going wrong and what i need to do, also is it me or is everbody having trouble loading up firefox browser up as i was just wondering wether to plash out on a better sd card.

Why is there a separate atmel0 interface if there is already wlan0 on the wireless interface side doing dhcp?

And 2 lines later I see:

# Wired or wireless interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

There is lots of redundancy in that interface file...

What do ifconfig, iwconfig and dmesg report?

Thanks for the replys, Im not that sure what the interface file is suppose to look like, my card comes up as wlan0 so i could do with all the help u can give me to get the right settings.

Regards whykick

[speculatrix]

make a copy of the interfaces file for future reference and then change it to read only this

Code: [Select]

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wireless_mode managed
    wireless_essid sukmebeautifull
    wireless_key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    wireless_channel 11

you should be able to just do "ifup wlan0". check that the wifi card is active with "pccardctl status" first.

Hi
Ive tried all the things i have been shown on here and i am still having troubleconnecting to my router. Ive change my interface file to this

What happens if you add

Code: [Select]

auto wlan0to /etc/network/interfaces ?

Oliver

[whykickamoocow]

How should my interface file look oliver when i add the auto wlan0, I just want to see the lay out of the file to make sure im doing it right.

Like this:

Thats just how i had mine, then in a terminal i typed ifup wlan0 and it came up with this

[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']root@Zubuntu:~# ifup wlan0

I also tried using wifi-radar but it was saying that it couldnt accuire the ip address, i feel i got a bit further and im sure i can fix the problem b4 the weeks out, but also need as much help as i can get. ive just had the same trouble with my jornada running jlime but thankfully i got that one sorted.

You should not need to "ifup wlan0" if autoenable is set in the interfaces file.
In case that dhcp is already running (which the lock file implies) the ifconfig should show an interface besides lo0. True?
Is the dhcpd really running then (check with "ps aux |grep dhc"), if not manually remove the lock file and retry.

Btw I just scrolled down and found that there seem to be 2 different wlan interfaces initialised: wifi0 and wlan1 which looks odd. Should be wlan0 and wifi0 but both not correctly set up.
If you do lsmod which modules are loaded? hostap or orinoco/hermes?

Good luck,

Oliver

[speculatrix]

hostap causes two devies to appear, wlan0 (the interesting one) and wifi0 (a control one, which you shouldn't play with!). the appearance of these shows you've got hostap loaded; if in doubt "lsmod" and check hostap and not prism nor orinoco nor hermes appear!

the error "unknown hardware address type 801" is a known bug, change the entry for dhcp in /etc/passwd as per other reports about ubuntu.

[whykickamoocow]

Thanks for the help guys but i think its a little ove rmy head now,im still pretty new to linux and i think i have a hell of a way b4 im up to your standrds. I did a lsmod and this is what it came up with, i realy dont know what im looking at.
